T. Marzetti Review and Giveaway

Veggies are delicious on their own (although not everyone will agree with me!) but sometimes you want to jazz them up even more. A great dip or dipping sauce kicks up the flavor and makes you go MMM! This is what Marzetti is all about, making you say YUM!

The T. Marzetti Company is the specialty food group of the Lancaster Colony Corporation. T. Marzetti produces a long list of salad dressings, fruit and vegetable dips, frozen baked goods and specialty brand items. I've tried some of the salad dressings before and they are fabulous!

There's a new product in the T. Marzetti family, and I have been able to try it! I was sent two Otria Greek veggie yogurt dips to review. I received Cucumber Dill Feta and Salsa Cilantro.(Brings together the zest of ripe tomatoes, onions, jalapeno peppers and a touch of cilantro to add flair to any veggie.)

This dip combines the light and creamy texture of Greek yogurt with an array of herbs and spices to create a uniquely fresh dip option that fits within a well-balanced lifestyle and will pamper your taste buds.

-Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip is available in five delicious varieties sure to please any palette at your next get together or daytime snack: -Garden Herb Ranch-Salsa Cilantro-Chipotle Cheese-Cucumber Dill Feta-Spinach Artichoke

-With Omega 3 and 60 calories per serving, Otria Greek Yogurt Veggie Dip is a well-balanced snack that can be enjoyed numerous ways every day:

-Create the perfect afternoon pick-me-up with a scoop of Otria Cucumber Dill Feta on sliced vegetables

-Turn your lunch break into a refreshing respite by spicing up your simple turkey sandwich with a smear of Otria Chipotle Cheese

I've had Greek yogurt before but never Greek yogurt veggie dip so I was interested in trying something new.

The Cucumber Dill Feta was awesome and by far my favorite. I had raw broccoli with the dip. The cucumber gives the dip a cool, refreshing taste. The dill is fragrant and very noticeable in taste, and the feta gives the dip a nice hint of cheesy flavor. Each flavor was subtle but you're still able to distinguish each flavor individually when consumed. I wouldn't think that these flavors would necessarily work well together but when combined they are awesome! The dip is thick, much like greek yogurt normally is. It is very creamy too. It blanketed my broccoli generously with delicious flavor and really helped to transform it into a fabulous snack. This would be perfect for a cool and creamy summer treat paired with your favorite vegetables.

The Salsa Cilantro was good but a little too spicy for me. I'm not a fan of spicy dips so I probably wouldn't normally purchase this one. The dip was extremely flavorful with the essence of tomatoes being very noticeable. I used carrots with the dip. The jalapeno really gives the dip a great pop of spice that I know people will enjoy and love. The cilantro is generously added in this dip and gives it a hint of spiciness too. I think this would be great to use for any Mexican cooking you might do. How about being creative and adding it a generous layer to your favorite burrito or quesadilla recipes? I think you'll love it!

I love to get a little plate of cut fruit or some hummus and ships and I will sit for a bit on the couch (in the winter ) or outside on a chair or towel and knit. Knitting is the way I create things and calm down.msgb245 at gmail dot com

I sit outside on the patio and just listen to the birds sing while eating my afternoon snack changes up the pace for me. These would really perk me up in the afternoon because I love snacking on fresh vegetables.tamben7996(at)aol(dot)com

I like to make myself a little fruit and veggie snack and stare blankly into the TV for a while every day. Lol. It has to be something mindless on TV so I don't get caught up in it. I have seen this dip but haven't broken down and bought any. I would love to try it though. I'm a big chicken when it comes to buying/trying new things. I don't want to waste money if I don't like it. Lol.

My daily escape is a long hot shower after my daughter gets on the bus for school. My daily routine already includes fresh veggies for snacks but I really think these dips would kick it up a notch! They sound wonderful!

I love escaping to the sunroom with a good book and a glass of lemon/cucumber water and re-energize with the sun's rays and heat or on rainy days listen to the falling rain on the glass always with a healthy snack of fruit or veggies or a mini cheese and fruit plate. I would love to try these dips to add to my afternoon snacks! Yummm!

our everday escape is on our boat. it's so relaxing and the change of scenery really helps rid the mind of city clutter and life's problems.we put out a spread of cheese & crackers and this would be the perfect addition!chichijunk at cs dot com

My daily escape is time spent rocking on the front porch in good weather. I could break my routine of a full meal at dinner by having lots of appetizers, veggies and dip, cheese, etc. one night a week.
